Husband has left…

[Hula190]

We have a 7mo DD and my husband has packed a bag and left.

Turbulent relationship due to his temper, and he has struggled since DD has been born with life changing less time for himself etc etc (despite me doing 80% of all parenting required)

He has left before after rows and I have always been the one to chase him to try and make amends. Now we have a child I feel that actually that won’t be happening any more. If he wants to leave then so be it.

But where do I go from here? I am on maternity leave and do rely on him financially though I have a lot in savings so would be ok for a little while. Plenty of supportive family and friends nearby.

If he follows his usual pattern he will return and want to make up tomorrow after he’s had his ‘space’ tonight. I’m just not keen to repeat that cycle and I don’t think I want him to return home (but I am extremely angry right now).

Any thoughts/advice welcome :-(

Walking out for an hour or two breather and to clear heads is not abusive if I do it or if my OH were to - yes packing bags and walking out overnight is a different story - when I wrote that post I'm not sure we knew OP OH had booked a hotel etx

@Hula190 OP - how are things today???

Okay fair enough, but I am also talking about when it continues to happen and the other doesn't know when that person will be back!
